[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teachers posting that it doesn't matter and that family time is more important must be Elementary School teachers.  My children's high school teachers are not that compassionate. And, they follow the rules to the letter. Unexcused absences, which is what family travel is, do not allow for any makeups.  Not missing assignments, not quizzes, not tests.[/quote]

No, I previously posted and I’m a high school teacher. Often they miss tests on the last days but they didn’t plan the vacation, their parents did. I will not personally tutor them to catch up on content but notes are online and they can make up assessments at another time. Are you at a private school?  [b]Public schools have been allowing make up work for all absences for a decade or more.[/b] [/quote]

Not PP. I teach high school in PG. We don't allow make up work for any unexcused absences. The PGCPS website states: [i]Unlawful absence is defined as the act of a student being absent from school for a day or any portion of a day from an individual class for any reason other than those defined as lawful. Teachers are not required to provide make-up work for students when absences are unlawful. [/i] The next section lists [i]denial of make-up work[/i] as a consequence for an unlawful absence.
